Handling Precautions
Warning:
1. Static electricity may cause damage to the integrated circuits on
the motherboard. Before handling any motherboard outside of its
protective packaging, ensure that there is no static electric charge
in your body.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Never run the processor without the heatsink properly and firmly
attached. PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL RESULT!
Observe the following basic precautions when handling the motherboard
or other computer components:
Wear a static wrist strap which fits around your wrist and is
connected to a natural earth ground.
Touch a grounded or anti-static surface or a metal fixture such as a
water pipe.
Avoid contacting the components on add-on cards, motherboards,
and modules with the golden fingers connectors plugged into the
expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their
mounting brackets.
The above methods prevent static build-up and cause it to be discharged
properly.

Overview
Overview
Chapter 1
The new ATX, 478-pin 1stMainboard®supports a full range of the latest
generation Intel®Pentium®4 processors. The leading edge Intel®chipset
was designed for coworking with Pentium®4 (up to 3.0 GHz) in the 478-pin
package based on the VRM 10.0 spec and 533/ 800 MHz.Built using the leading
edge technology the Intel Pentium®4 processors provide a significant perfor-
mance over previous Pentium®III processors. Four DDR 333/400 SDRAM
sockets allow for up to 4 GB memory capacity. Support for the Ultra DMA/100
protocol and its high-speed interface further ensures that data transfer speeds
are improved, especially for long sequential transfers required by audio/visual
applications.
The board features onboard audio and LAN function; also, the serial ATA
feature replaces the standard parallel ATA physical storage interface and al-
lows future enhancements to the computing platform. It completely software
compatible with parallel ATA, requiring no mofication to your operating sys-
tem. Two types of RAID connections are provided: IDE (HPT 372) and SATA
(Intel ICH5R). The onboard serial ATA feature includes RAID function to
provide you with a more efficient storage backup. For more detail, please read
the help file in the lst Utilities CD.
The 1stMainboard comes with a versatile range of I/O features such as 2 serial
ports, 2 IDE RAID, 2 serialATA ports, 1 parallel port, 1 LAN, 2 IEEE 1394, 1 PS/
2 mouse and keyboard connector, 8 USB ports, 5.1 audio channel, 1 media
connector (front audio, Line-in, Line-out and Mic-in). In addition, the board is
equipped with 2 dual channel enhanced PCI bus master IDE connectors. Ample
expansion is available through 5 PCI and 1AGP to meet the requirement for
enjoying the P4 CPU benefits in internet applicatons, video/3D graphics per-
formance, and so forth.
Other key features are Remote On/Off, Auto Power Failure Recovery, inte-
grated temperature monitoring and system fan control. Included also is lst
Utilities CD with enhanced drivers and a few bundled soft-ware solutions.

875 Dynasty Mainboard Manual
NOTE: lst Utilities CD that contains patch files, onboard video/au-
dio chip drivers, related online help and other useful information
can be found in your mainboard package.
Please install it right after your Windows operating system installa-
tion is done.Place your lst Utility in the drive, an operating menu will
appears in your monitor. Please select Auto Installation. It will auto-
matically detect which software tools (patch files, drivers) that the
mainboard needs. Press OK button to go through the whole instal-
lation procedure in a very straight forward and easy way. It also
provides you with a custom way to select wanted patch files and
software drivers that for onboard chips use. The top menu of lst
Utilities lists all the functions that allowed by this board.
